Carlos - Budapest Ritmo Világzenei Filmnapok 2025 / BARTÓK TAVASZ 2025

Director: Rudy Valdez

The electric documentary Carlos traces the rock legend Santana from his childhood genius, years as a street musician and rapid rise to stellar heights. Using new interviews with Santana and his family alongside never-before-seen archival footage; home video recordings Santana himself made; concert footage and behind-the-scenes moments, two-time Emmy-winning director Rudy Valdez creates an intimate, rich documentary about a man whose sound casts a spell on fans who love – as one of Santana’s famous titles says – ‘how his rhythm goes.’

American documentary with Hungarian subtitles 

This film screening of the Bartók Spring is presented by Müpa Budapest as a joint event with Hangvető and Music Hungary.
